To think all of this hand holding bollocks is going a bit too far now

[nenevomito]

It used to be that when something bloody awful happened to someone, they'd ask for a bit of hand holding, but its getting ridiculous now.

All it takes is for someone to post summat like "I've burnt tea" and the first sodding responder says "ooh you must be so worried, I'm holding your hand". This is then followed by a million other "I'm holding your hand too" posts.

How many fucking hands does one person have?

Seriously. Sheesh. Knock it off.

The more it happens, the more the gesture is devalued.

Then what?

I agree with you.

Handing out grips also fucks me off.

TBH I am finding this thread quite difficult..

The grip thing is irritating.

I am slightly confused by this thread. Can I have some handholding please?

Only if you wash it first, Magic Key. With antibacterial soap.

I prefer a little faintly inappropriate boob-touching.

But yes, I know what you mean. I feel as if I can't have a good whine without needing to preface it with 'I really am just moaning. You do not need to get the violins out.'

It's very well-meant and all. But. I like you lot being cunty.

Hair stroking is just creepy.

That's exactly it. It used to mean something, but if it's used for anything from a poorly goldfish to a deflated soufflé it becomes trite and a bit poo.

It's actually useful to be told to get a grip.

I've seen an actual "hun" on a thread this week

I had a goldfish

He died.

I am guilty of telling people to "get a grip". But in my defence I'm not sure how "pull yourself together, you whining ejit" would be received.

Do I need a support thread to help me address this issue?

babyheave. I am surprised that this thread is started by you. We were on a thread with a lot of hand holding for quite some time.

Have you had a massive change of heart from even say a month ago?

you must be so worried. I know how you wanted to ask for handholding for your broken little toe nail, I'm thinking of you. while I contemplate the 5 bottles of vodka and 2 gin I have now found in my freezer

I don't know about a support thread but I do need support pants.

Bobyan ahhh if only one could say that. In fact there should me some kind of emoticon for that.
